Being relatively new here, I've noticed that the cigar bombs usually have several sticks packed in a ziplock but then they're individually sealed (if you know what I mean). What do you use to seal the cigars individually? I hate to use a vacume pack bag and harm the cigars...

Thanks in advance!

Those are the 5 finger baggies...some are 6 fingered, and I have seen 3 fingered. They go up on group buy every now and then.

Just throw them in a ziplock bag and call it a day. The cigars will be fine for a few days without having to vacuum seal it

when in doubt, err on the side of caution. if you think you are overstuffing, you are: move to the next size box. if it feels rattly, add more packaging.

at the same time, don't overthink it. a ziplock, folded down, wrapped in news and taped secure but not tight, has worked wonders.

Not a fan of ziplock bags. Have seen/received my share of sticks that damage themselves in there bouncing around against each other. Get yourself a supply of 5 finger bags. :)

Thanks! I appreciate the input. When I travel and I've got too many sticks to pack in my 50ct. box (or I don't want to waste space in my luggage), I'll just stuff the balance of loose sticks in a gallon ziplock and throw it in the suitcase. Never had a problem...

Just wondered how others shipped their sticks via mail...
